There's just two left, when Ringo isn't voicing Thomas The Tank Engine he's a right grumpy bastard whilst McCartney loves performing and making music, that's cool and everything but his recent releases are pretty lame and live, his voice just can't cut it no more, thats aging for you. These two factors are ruining his legacy. Last weeks 6Music Maida Vale show looked like hard work on his vocal chords, it is a shame because he clearly has a passion for it, I saw him ten years ago and he was brilliant, with that back catalog he can't go wrong but maybe it is time to give it a rest...
So, last week he released his latest LP, 'New', the single of the same name was played way more than it deserved to be on 6Music, probably part of his contract for playing the Maida Vale show. He's put his fair share of self-promoting into it, it's just a tad annoying that it wasn't something brilliant he was backing. Anyway, the second single from New is Queenie Eye, equally lame (neither songs are awful but they aren't good!), the quality is not important this time around as the star studded video takes precedence, thanks to the fame that came with The Beatles and an A-lister phone book. Obviously, word got round about the filming in Abbey Road, mostly because of two of the best looking people to ever exist (Johnny and Kate) back in the same room together along with Tom Ford, Gary Barlow and plenty of others. But, like the song, the video is rubbish. It's like they've got all these famous people together but didn't know what to do with them...
Watch the video.
Then see what happened 'behind the scenes'.
McCartney is a legend, don't let this ruin them memories.
